porting OpenSSH to an SX4

Dear OpenSSH developers,

I'm trying to port OpenSSH to our NEC SX4, but am having trouble finding
reference to the 'addrinfo' structure. (Refer ssh.c:488). If anyone can
shed some light on this struct, or has ported OpenSSH to a similar platform,
I'd be very interested to hear from you.

Thanks,
Niels

addrinfo is a standard socket network structure described in Stevens
"UNIX Network Programming, 2nd ed". It's an IPv6 structure, and
is also described in RFC 2553

You will probably find it easy enought to #ifef it out, as
there's not much IPv6 penetration yet into the various UNIX
flavours.

cheers

Carl

RFC2553 contains most of the gory details. What problems are you
encountering? autoconf should replace the structure if it is missing.
